My news consumption this week was caught up in a procrastination spiral and distraction spiral. I didn't do much a of a job dealing with either spiral.

I hope to be better in both managing distraction and procrastination this coming week. Being intentional is part of the challenge. On the other hand I do want substantial news that i can actually use, particularly to inform my understanding of NC politics. I've added https://carolinapublicpress.org/ as another statewide news source.

For US national news does anyone have an opinion to share about https://www.kenklippenstein.com/ as a news source? He appears to be about bringing forward whistle blower content, including many screen grabs of emails to government employees about fighting DEI efforts. I don't know if it's good for me to read or not: is this train-wreck curiosity?

I felt like Ken was doing something that really appealed to lefties, but he felt more like a lefty political influencer more than a journalist. But I watch Brian Tyler Cohen and Adam Mockler who feel like they fall in that category.

Thanks -- maybe that's the vibe i was picking up, "influencer."

Agreed.

I pick up what I can from these sorts, but don’t depend on them nor limit myself to them.
